Hi Andrea,
Your topic of change is so timely! As an astrologer I can testify that we are in the midst of major changes – personally and collectively – which everyone is experiencing one way or another. This is eclipse season and we have our 2nd of 3 tonight at 10:35pm ET ~ 7:35pm PT, a Solar Eclipse, which brings in new beginnings. I can’t wait to see what’s coming in – and what’s now complete and over! I so agree with you that during these times it’s a fabulous opportunity to check in with ourselves and see what fits our authentic self and what needs to go. Moment by moment…

Massive change in our lives – changes of location or jobs or spouses – is a perfect opportunity to “reinvent” ourselves. And if one is able to remain the eye of the storm, then chaos can rain around us without affecting us. It becomes the perfect way to embrace our new selves and our new lives – to really become who we want to be!

Maybe that’s why I love it so much…

Anyway, thanks for the thought-provoking post, Andrea!

Hi Andrea — I’ve definitely been experiencing this lately in my work — now that people are reaching out to me more often I’ve felt the urge sometimes to retreat into my shell at times, and there is still a place for that in my life, but just sitting and breathing through that urge to retreat is a great practice as well. Best, Chris

Hi Andrea,

I admit to being a rather verbose person so I won’t be able to totally express my gratitude to you for this post. I am so glad to see that you are doing so well at helping all of us to stay in tune with whatever our purpose in life might be. Change is exciting, frustrating, exhilerating, painful, etc., etc. Excellent post.

LOL…tell me about it. No going back…the few things I do go back to for an instant make me feel ill.

Andrea, what a good idea to use this kind of opportunity to change our old habits. I used to just do things until I was tired of them (went to the same Starbucks everyday for years and finally stopped), but having a major shift in one’s life like moving, is the perfect time to shake up the dull routine.

Andrea, Have you been peeking in my windows? What a timely topic… I have relocated from my long time home to a great transition house and find myself reexamining all kinds of choices that I had taken for granted as a part of the fabric of my life. Change does put us outside of our comfort zones but it is also exciting and exhilerating to live life with so many possibilities.

Andrea, thanks for putting it into proper perspective…that is exactly what I have been doing…resisting going back to status quo. I realized how far I have come in my personal journey when I spent the weekend with old friends…seems like a lifetime ago I was that person, rather than 5 short months. I found the courage to break out and am flourishingin my new-found life. I will continue to remind myself to embrace change and resist status quo. Thank you.

Good post, Andrea. Life is change, and trying to maintain the status quo is like swimming up a waterfall. So embracing change is only rational. Better yet, by being skillful, a person can be proactive and initiate change, always keeping in mind that one’s past actions will influence success or failure. Best to aim for the highest, making “God karma.” As the Upanishads say, seek that one thing which, when known, all is known.
